Cool :)

I'm personally interested in developing programs with embedded gnash, so I
think it's worth not to drop it. I'd like to include the package as well, at
least to experimental, to pass the NEW queue as soon as possible. If there are
changes in the names of the packages or new packages, we'd have to pass it
again. I know the API and ABI are not stable for now, so I won't let it enter
unstable in this state, but I hope it will be stable sometime.

I'd prefer having mozilla-plugin-... and konqueror-plugin-... as it makes more
clear in the list that it's a plugin. mozilla-firefox, to say an example, has
that kind of name and is not a plugin.

Do you prefer konqueror-plugin-gnash ? that would be no problem and make it
clearer. I just thought klash was the official name for it.

I'm separating them into different packages to lower the needed dependencies
for each one.

Thanks for the comments :)
